   I haven't heard what, if anything, the record company is up to. Maybe   
   they're waiting to see what breaks out. (I listen to virtually no radio   
   any more, so i don't even know if that term is still used..)   
      
   I wouldn't be surprised if 'Good Vibrations' got played more than   
   anything else.
